The San Francisco 49ers signed former Detroit Lions cornerback Teez Tabor to their practice squad Monday, according to a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tabor was waived by the Lions out of training camp and had remained a free agent since.

Tabor, 23, was a second-round pick by Detroit out of Florida in the 2017 draft. He played in 22 games over the past two seasons, making only five starts and recording 39 tackles (34 solo).

This past spring, Tabor admitted he had been distracted by all the flash that comes with being an NFL player. "I fell in love with the money, the jewelry, the females, everything. I fell in love with everything else besides the game," said Tabor in an interview with MLive.com.

"(I told myself) either you're going to fall back in love with the game, or you're going to be gone like you was never here. ... I made a decision to, like, start doing this (stuff) so I can fall back in love with the game. I fell out of love with the game, and now I'm back in love with the game." Tabor, however, injured his hamstring, missing most of the preseason and was subsequently released.
